http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52741438

Dabney writes to his uncle regarding life in Richmond, Va., after the Civil War. Topics include the harshness of Congressional radicals who require too much for Virginia to be readmitted to the Union; praise for President Johnson who has "done nobly"; submissiveness of white southerners and their wilingness to rebuild and reunite; trouble with freedmen whom he fears will dominate the state and Congress; family news; and his current poverty and desire to remove elsewhere in the country.
